Why this works

Soup usually takes time.

This one doesn't.

Because the chicken is already cooked, all you're really making is the broth. In less than 15 minutes you've got a bowl that feels nourishing, comforting and surprisingly homemade.

Founder tip

I always keep a carton of chicken bone broth in the cupboard for this recipe. Between that, a pack of noodles and FROZN in the freezer, you've always got the ingredients for a proper comforting dinner—even when the fridge looks empty.
